The representa+on of Indie as a genre is shown to be
quite relaxed which conveys the kind of music it is. The
indie genre usually represents rela+onships or drugs,
either being in the lyrics or how the band members look
in the music videos. This connotes the ‘indie style ’ and
ideas that it has. In the videos the band members clothes
has ideologies that link to this as the costumes are quite
rough but casual. The ac+ons in indie performances are
also quite flowing and so= rock movements which slows
with the music. These values of clothes and performance
based ideas in indie bands are usually mostly the same in
a performance based video.
